Q2.CONN Is a special Ethernet Hub required for use with TZtouch3 networks?
TZtouch3 does not require a special Ethernet Hub. While we recommend the Furuno HUB101*,
any standard 100Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet Hub/Switch is compatible with the network. HUB101
must have a -55 PCB for use with TZtouch3. Additionally, each TZtouch3 MFD has two (2)
Ethernet ports.
Q3.CONN Can standard touch PC monitors be used with TZtouch3 MFDs for remote
displays?
Yes. TZtouch3 can use standard widescreen touch PC monitors that are HDMI compatible. Non
touch screen monitors are also compatible. An MCU002, MCU004, MCU005 remote or a mouse
could be added for control. While standard monitors can be used, it is recommended that the
monitor be tested with the TZtouch3 MFD before it is mounted to see if it is compatible.
TZtouch3 does not support proprietary drivers, such as 10-point touch features. TZtouch3
supports dual point touch only. Any touch monitor that requires a driver be loaded into the
TZtouch3 will not work. The TZtouch3 can use widescreen PC monitors that are either HDMI or
DVI compatible (with an adapter plug). Non-marine monitors are not recommended for outside
installations or in areas of high brightness. Also consider night-time viewing for installations
using non-marine grade monitors.
TZT12F HDMI output resolution is fixed at 1280 x 720, TZT16F is and TZT19F is fixed at 1920 x
1080.
Note:
Connected touch monitors must have the same native resolution as the TZtouch3
MFD they are connected to (16 x 9 aspect ratio) as well as have the HPD (Hot Plug Detection)
functionality.
3. NavNet TZtouch3 Compatibility
Q1.COMP Can I mix TZtouch2 and TZtouch3 MFDs in a single network?
Yes, TZtouch3 MFDs may be mixed with TZtouch2* MFDs in a single network. There is a six
MFD limit in the network.
*TZtouch2 requires version 7 software. (available spring of 2020)
*Each TZT2BB counts as two MFDs.
Q2.COMP Is NavNet 3D or TZtouch compatible with NavNet TZtouch3?
No. TZtouch3 is not compatible with NavNet 3D or TZtouch. NavNet 3D or TZtouch and
TZtouch3 MFDs cannot exist together on the same network.
Q3.COMP Can Furuno commercial Radars be connected to NavNet TZtouch3?
Yes. TZtouch3 can be connected to an FAR2XX7, FAR2XX8, FR15X8, and FR15X3, depending on
radar software versions. Please contact Furuno Tech support for additional information.
Q4.COMP Can an FCV1150 Sounder be connected to NavNet TZtouch3?
While this is possible, it is not officially supported.
Q5.COMP Can I control a SiriusXM Satellite Radio (audio channels) using NavNet
TZtouch3?
Yes. TZtouch3 is compatible with SiriusXM audio and SiriusXM Weather via the BBWX3 or
BBWX4 SiriusXM weather receivers.
